After a chat with @Zoddo and me just taking too long to come back to this, there should everything now be included that was in my old discord-electron package some migrated from (Krisp patcher, Wayland, autostart fix). Additionally I replaced the scrappy rizin patcher with a Python script someone from the nix community kindly made available.
Instead of checking against a checksum to know whether the Krisp binary was patched the script is run on every start of the client that results in slightly longer start times but has the advantage that we don't have to update the package if Discord ever silently updates the binary between client updates over their modules api.

Cheers

Starting with 0.0.26-1 (2023-03-31):
  • Switched back to the main electron package (electron22)
  • Watching cameras and streams is working again
Starting with 0.0.20-1 (2022-09-15):
  • Bumped electron16 to electron19 (I still have blocking issues with electron20)
  • Added support for $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/discord-flags.conf: this works like electron-flags.conf, you can set in this file the command line flags you want to pass to electron when running Discord (there are some useful flags in the wiki, especially if you are experiencing lag in the Discord UI).
FAQ

Discord requires an update, but this package isn't yet updated
Check the wiki.

The Discord UI is lagging
Try to add the flags recommended in the wiki in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/discord-flags.conf.

Krisp not working
This is an issue that will likely never be fixed for this package. The Krisp module checks if Discord binaries are signed by Discord, which is not the case with this package.
See this comment and this GitHub issue for more details and possibles workarounds.

This package should be renamed to discord-electron-bin to be consistent with the -canary package.

Zoddo commented on 2022-02-11 21:30 (UTC)

I can confirm the bug has been fixed with recent updates of the electron package. I believe the package can be switched back to electron16.

intersectRaven commented on 2022-01-27 23:29 (UTC)

The crash with electron v16 has been addressed by the electron package. It should be fine with electron-16.0.7-3.

tsweet64 commented on 2022-01-27 01:57 (UTC)

Yes, I'm having the same issue

mattj commented on 2022-01-26 19:21 (UTC)

Anybody else's not working with wayland? Using the latest discord and electron 15.

electron15 --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland --enable-accelerated-mjpeg-decode --enable-accelerated-video --ignore-gpu-blacklist --enable-native-gpu-memory-buffers --enable-gpu-rasterization --enable-gpu --enable-features=WebRTCPipeWireCapturer /usr/lib/discord/app.asar

It just still uses XWayland...

@katt please ignore my last post, I just run the update again and it worked. Not sure why it hanged. Yes, I'm using Manjaro and I updated via pamac.

katt commented on 2022-01-26 15:26 (UTC)

@dangpzanco electron15 is in the official repos: https://archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/electron15/ Are you using some kind of arch-based distro?

dangpzanco commented on 2022-01-26 01:15 (UTC) (edited on 2022-01-26 16:06 (UTC) by dangpzanco)

I'm somehow not affected by the bug (on Electron 16.07).

Edit (ignore the following): Now the package won't build for me... Do I need to downgrade electron? How?

intersectRaven commented on 2022-01-25 23:46 (UTC)

Seems it's got something to do with the latest electron update about wlroot. I just rolled back my electron instead of updating my AUR package that will use 15.
